What to verify
Distinguish Apple Gift Card from older App Store and iTunes cards by the printed design and redemption instructions.
Treat the issuing country and the Apple Account country as separate fields that must be checked before redemption.
Keep the retailer receipt, full card edges, denomination, and serial area readable while covering the redeemable code.
Apple Account balance can cover eligible apps, subscriptions, media, and, in supported markets, Apple products and accessories.
Official and primary sources
Issuer policies can change. Open the source before making a decision that depends on current redemption or support terms.
